Chapter 36: Bigger and Stronger
Big brother Cheng doesn't deceive me!
Lin Yi'an and Lin Baiwei looked up at the hanging Manxiang Yizhuang signboard and the flattering shopkeeper.
I can't help but sigh in my heart: Big brother is really rich!
In one go, he bought two of the most profitable shops and a restaurant in Yejing. That's not a small amount!
The eldest brother said that there was a small achievement in the Qingzhou territory, so it seems that this achievement should be even greater. Lin Yi'an thought.
At Lin Yuanshan's insistence, the two sisters Yi'an Baiwei can be said to have gained a lot.
"I've heard that girls' families are happy when they buy things. Why is there still sorrow between An'er's eyebrows? Lin Yuanshan asked.
Lin Baiwei answered: "My sister must be worried about Master Mu." ”
Seeing that Lin Yi'an seemed to have a lot to say, Lin Yuanshan took his two younger sisters to find a secluded wing room in the teahouse and sit down to talk.
It's all his own family, and Lin Yi'an has nothing to guard against, so he said all the worries in his heart. He also roughly explained his future plans.
After Lin Yuanshan and Lin Baiwei listened, they didn't say anything for a long time, and they both frowned and thought.
"Don't you think my idea is a little whimsical?" Lin Yi'an knows very well how absurd her thoughts and thoughts are from the eyes of the world, and she is even ready to be admonished by her eldest brother and younger sister.
Unexpectedly, Lin Baiwei said: "I knew that you must have a plan for the future when you married to the Xuanwu Marquis Mansion so easily. Who would have thought that you would even want to get involved in the affairs of the court. Then the conversation changed: "Fortunately, I was prepared." If you want to do these things, just do it, I have made up my mind to enter the East Palace, and I will always help you in the future. ”
Lin Yuanshan put down the teacup: "I am in the rivers and lakes, although I can't speak in the court, but the temples and rivers are inseparable. The White Wing Alliance is driven by you, if you are short of money, come to me. ”
Lin Yi'an asked in disbelief: "You guys...... Don't persuade me? ”
"What do you advise? You are my sister, I will accompany you in whatever you want to do. Lin Baiwei looked at Lin Yuanshan: "What's more, now that the eldest brother is back, our three brothers and sisters are together, so we are not afraid of anything." Right, big brother? ”
Lin Yuanshan smiled and nodded.
Is this the so-called interdependence of the same root?
Lin Yi'an was touched in his heart. Her eyes were slightly red: "With your words, I feel a lot more relieved." At least I still have you. ”
"You are my relatives, the people I care about the most in this world. So I can't implicate you in this matter. Lin Yi'an said: "The money of the Hou Mansion must be earned by itself, and the forces of the Hou Mansion must also be cultivated by themselves." ”
Seeing that her sister had the intention of refusing, Lin Baiwei immediately said: "Why do you have to carry everything yourself?" Not to mention how hard it is to do it on your own. I'm just asking you, are you sure that Mu Houye will be able to hold out until you do this? ”
Lin Yuanshan stopped the little sister: "Xiao Qi, listen to your sister first." ”
"I only said I didn't want to involve you, but I didn't say I didn't need your help." Lin Yi'an patted his sister's hand: "I have my own plans for the rest of the matter, and when the time comes, I will tell you." ”
Lin Baiwei knew how stubborn her sister was, so she had to press it and not mention it.
In fact, Lin Yi already had a plan in his peace of mind, which was gradually taking shape. The three brothers and sisters sat in the teahouse for a while, watching the sky getting darker, Lin Yuanshan first sent Lin Baiwei back to Lin Mansion, and then accompanied Lin Yi'an back to Hou Mansion.
By this time it was already dark. The streets are lined with shops, lanterns are lit up one by one, and the number of people gradually increases, especially in the open space during the day, where there are already many vendors pushing goods and selling.
The city is a jewel, and the household is full of Luoqi.
Such a night only belongs to Yejing City.
"Big brother, is the night in Cheongju so lively?" Lin Yi'an asked with a smile.
Lin Yuanshan looked up at the dark night and muttered, "The Qingzhou in my memory is very quiet......
It's so quiet that people can't feel the existence of life, and it makes people lonely. Lin Yuanshan looked sideways at his sister's smile, and the sorrows that had accumulated in his heart for many years were all relieved in an instant.
In fact, Cheongju is also very lively, and the reason why he feels quiet and lonely is because the person he misses is far away in Yejing.
"An'er." Lin Yuanshan pinned the broken hair in her ear behind her ear, and there was a faint smile in his eyes, but somehow there was a sour feeling in his heart: "I'm sorry." ”
After making you wait for so many years, my brother is really guilty.
Lin Yi'an looked at his eldest brother, his eyes were bright, revealing two shallow pear vortices: "If my brother feels guilty, then he will come to the Hou Mansion to accompany me more in the future." ”
As he spoke, Lin Yi'an stopped at a rouge shop: "This is the shop given by the emperor to the Hou Mansion, and I said I would come to see it in two days." Who knew that today it was a coincidence, and my brother and I went in to take a look? ”
As soon as you enter the door, you can smell a strong smell of smoke. Lin Yi'an couldn't help frowning, this smell was really frustrating.
The guys in the store didn't recognize Lin Yi'an. He was standing inside the wooden counter of Lixiang, fiddling with the crickets in the porcelain cup. He glanced up at her, and greeted her without being salty: "The rouge is all in it, look at it casually." Fu lowered his head and played with his crickets, and never paid attention to Lin Yi'an and Lin Yuanshan again.
Lin Yi'an and Lin Yuanshan glanced at each other, silently walked to the wooden display shelf, and the rouge that had been opened was placed in a row quite casually. Lin Yi'an dipped his index finger in the back of his hand, and the color was ...... It's not ugly, but it's not good-looking.
Well, unremarkable.
No wonder she felt strange when she checked the accounts, obviously there were several shops in the most lively street in the capital, but the money she earned was pitiful, and even the shops in the West Market could not compare.
Lin Yi'an shook his head and stepped forward to ask, "Are you the shopkeeper of this shop?" ”
The guy didn't raise his head, but said impatiently: "What are you looking for the shopkeeper?" ”
Lin Yi'an pressed the angry eldest brother and said calmly: "Check the accounts." ”
The man was finally willing to put down the cricket in his hand and looked up at the young woman. Only then did he realize that he was a little stunned by her, so even the tone of his voice became unconfident: "Are you?" ”
"I have not long been married to Mu Houye." Lin Yi'an said.
The man was shocked, this is a real master, thinking of his sluggish attitude just now, he can't wait to call himself two mouths.
"It's Madame who came! The little one has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, and he neglects his wife, this is really ...... It's a great sin. The little one is going to call the shopkeeper over! ”
This flattering tone is very different from Fang Cai's attitude. Lin Yi'an raised his hand: "No need." He turned back to Lin Yuanshan and said, "Let's go first." ”
Walking on the road, Lin Yuanshan said: "I thought you would call the shopkeeper out and reprimand him." ”
"With such an attitude, it is impossible for the shopkeeper not to know, even if I reprimand him, I am afraid that he will only do superficial work for a few days." Lin Yi'an let out a long sigh: "What's more, the problem of this shop is not just with the guys. ”
After many years of doing business, Lin Yuanshan saw many problems the moment he stepped into the rouge shop. He looked at his sister's frowning brow and said, "What are you frowning for?" Although there are many problems in this shop, it is not impossible to solve. If you don't have someone you can trust, I'll take care of it for you. ”
"Brother, you have been in business for many years, do you know who has the best money in this world?" Lin Yi'an asked suddenly.
Lin Yuanshan thought for a while: "Gambler." ”
"And women."
"You want to make the rouge shop bigger?"
Lin Yi'an's eyes showed a sly light, she pulled Lin Yuanshan's sleeve, and said softly: "Brother, there is something An'er wants to ask you." ”
